This document summarizes a presentation on combined digital current and voltage transformers (DCVT) for smart grids. It outlines problems with conventional analog transformers, such as insufficient accuracy and incompatibility with smart grids. The product described is a DCVT that uses multiple sensor types and digitizes signals on the primary side for transmission via fiber optics. Compared to analog transformers, DCVTs offer higher accuracy, no insulation problems, compatibility with smart grids, and stability. The presentation provides market analysis, notes competitors, and outlines plans to develop pilot DCVTs and industrial production with requested funding of 30-35 million and 135 million rubles over two steps.

Problems
• Insufficient accuracy of
conventional current and
voltage transformers
Traditional current
transformer
→ system accidents
→imbalance of power
→ losses 100 million RUB
in month

• Incorrect operation of relay
protection
• Problems with high voltage
insulation. Potential of explosion
and fire
• Analog CT and VT don’t correspond to the innovative
concept «Smart GRID»
